A career is far different from a job. The trick to success lies in understanding that difference, finding a career you love, and getting paid to work on your passion. It’s what a “dream job” is all about.

But it’s easier said than done.

The job hunt can be grueling and confusing, especially if you aren’t sure about what you want to do next. If you feel like you don’t want to be stuck doing your current job, you need to still figure out what you want to do instead. And then go through the arduous task of searching for career opportunities in that.

The eight-day course targets people who are unhappy or disinterested in what they do. The video series helps you identify your core skills and personality traits, and also your passions and interest. By the end of the course, you will figure out how to match these two to come up with the ideal job for you. That way, you will be making money while doing something you truly enjoy, and which uses work you are naturally built for.

You will get one new email every day with a video in it, as well as links and write-ups that can further guide you. If you feel like you can do much more than what you are right now, Figure It Out is the place to start.

You may have never done the math, but a few academics at Oxford University have. The magic figure of 80,000 Hours is how much time you’ll spend on your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. Suddenly, it seems a lot more important to get your career right, doesn’t it?

The 80,000 Hours guide is a one-stop shop for everything you would need to know about figuring out your career path. It’s a non-profit organization in collaboration with Oxford academics. It asserts its independence and sincerity by not taking advertisements from recruiters or companies.

A job search can be a stressful time. There are so many things to do, and so many things you shouldn’t do. And the internet is full of confusing advice. 50 Ways To Get A Job (50WTGAJ) streamlines your process.

It’s almost like a If-This-Then-That system. Start with nine options to identify which stage of the job search you are at: Starting, Finding My Purpose, Overwhelmed, Learning New Skills, Networking, Stuck, Applying for Jobs, Interviewing, Happy. Click what fits and follow the five or six steps within that section.

Each section summarizes the best advice on the internet, complete with links to further reading or tools. 50WTGAJ doesn’t rely only on one external site, and draws from LinkedIn posts, Harvard Business Review, NPR, and other resources. It’s a clear strategy of what you should do next, so that you can follow the process and not get immobilized trying to figure out next steps.

It’s not earth-shattering advice, but having it all in one place helps to construct how you should approach this phase of your life. After all, the ideal goal is to do this just once and not have to think about it for years.
